David Leek 'Island Radiance' (Practikal Recordings)
Although trance label Praktikal Recordings has been around for a while, we hadn’t heard much from it previously as owner Tim Greenshill was working on other projects. Things have changed now, though, as he and his partner have turned their attention to the label full-time, releasing numerous records this year including this cut from Swedish producer David Leek. With its shimmering melody, mesmerising breakdown and a touch of female vocals, it conjures up memories of the White Isle and has the stamp of approval from big names including Paul van Dyk and Giuseppe Ottaviani.
